Join AFSC’s Friends Relations team, Lucy Duncan and Madeline Schaefer, for a presentation and discussion on the new Meeting/Church Liaison program, a growing community of Quakers from around the country who are partnering with AFSC to build a powerful Spirit-led movement for social change.

If you’ve been interested in becoming an AFSC liaison for your meeting/church, or are curious to learn more about how Quakers can partner with AFSC, please join us!

Join us each month as we engage in conversation about the work of AFSC, and how Quakers can be involved in evolving movements for social change. These monthly calls are an opportunity to learn from AFSC staff about specific focus issues and campaigns, and hear ideas of how to get involved. Each one is also an opportunity to speak with other Quakers from the around the country about strategies for how to engage in collective social change work.

We will begin our new series of calls this October. Find out more about the subject and presenters for these monthly calls, below.

The Meeting/Church liaison program is designed to meet congregations where they are at--whether big or small, active or inactive, we want to help your congregation work with the AFSC to build the movement for a more justice and equitable world.

Below we have outlined two possible ways to get involved:

Model 1: Connect your congregation to the work of AFSC through monthly updates and activities.

Model 2: Identify one issue that resonates with the interests in your community and focus on that issue throughout the year.

Listen to Erin Polley as she speaks with members of the Meeting/Church Liaison program about the 3rd annual, "If I Had a Trillion Dollars" youth film festival, to be held in February, 2013. You can hear Erin give a full program description, followed by a question and answer period with Quakers interested in bringing the festival and its curriculum to their local meetings.
